(221) Control (Final)

Geth stared ahead, not believing what he was seeing. He was too late.

His mind went blank, the Mana he had been controlling fell lifeless, and the purple energy began to surround him.

Even through this, he just stared at the hanging body of his wife before him. Blood dripped down his arm and fell off of his pitch-black shoulder onto the ground.

His heart raced, and he activated Time Delay on himself.

Time slowed to a crawl. A single drop of blood took over an hour to fall from his elbow to his shoulder.

He gazed at Zolis, unsure of what to do. 

She was dead.

Not hurt.

Not dying.

Dead.

A feeling of nothingness washed over him. His eyes lost any semblance of emotion, and a small black hole appeared in the center of his chest.

There was no anger, sorrow, grief... Just a deep nothingness and a need to fill it with something.
